Van der Merwe and Sutherland defeated in game two

Duhan van der Merwe and Rory Sutherland were unable to help British & Irish Lions to a Test victory as the Springboks ran out 27-9 winners in Cape Town.

Van der Merwe played the full game while Sutherland played 24 minutes from the bench as the series heads to a decider next Saturday.

Warriors’ two summer signings have been involved in both tests so far and will be aiming to return to Sixways with a series win against the number one ranked team in the world.
